Why do pelvic floor dysfunction patients need physiotherapy sessions at home?
Physiotherapy therapy sessions at home or clinics help to enhance the patient’s self-management, strengthen the pelvic muscles, and improve their lifestyle.
In addition, the role of the physiotherapist through physiotherapy sessions at home includes reducing the financial burden for patients, as the patient with weak pelvic muscles needs intensive care and various health equipment, and physiotherapy can reduce it by achieving the greatest possible degree of independence to help the patient for himself.
Among those exercises provided by the physical therapist in physical therapy sessions at home:
-
Kegel exercises that aim to strengthen the pelvic muscle by contracting and relaxing it
-
Electrical stimulation to relieve pain in patients with weak pelvic floor muscles
-
Treating trigger points, which are spots inside or outside the body, in physical therapy sessions at home
-
Biofeedback technique to measure the patient’s progress in exercises
